Just another freak in the freak kingdom

Hell, I'm finally back. My computer is acting weird which prevented me from updating the site earlier.... Anyhow...

We had a hell of a time in Colorado. I skied for the first time in eight years, so that was awesome.

God, I am too tired to deal with this right now. There were good stories. The National Security State came around at unexpected times. A guy told me that they know where Osama bin Laden is.

Our society seems to be obsessed with mortality, wall to wall Schiavo on the wretched airport CNN televisions that can never be turned off, as I found trying desperately to sleep on Friday before last in the Atlanta airport.

I have this weird psychological problem, which I think relates to my atheism. Simply put, I would say that we die every day, as some realities are brought about and other potential realities are crushed. As we move from one phase of life to another the old personality dies. But maybe not, maybe there is a firm and Profound bond between all the moments that make up a person's life, and it isn't all complex, random movements of inherently mundane and truly dead molecules.

Ugh, I don't mean to get negative. To be truly honest, I feel all right about where my life is going to go and I don't quite have the same level of anxiety that's sweeping through many of my classmates. We are moving on Real Soon, that's what's clear. The old social forms are ticking away, ready to go into the dust of these strange years of college...
